On Wednesday, Breitbart<\/a> reported that a group of scientists in Texas had successfully genetically engineered three dire wolf cubs. This is a breed of wolf that went extinct 10,000 years ago. The wolf breed is distantly related to the grey wolf, but considerably larger.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Podcast king Joe Rogan was blown away by the comeback of the dire wolf as he spoke to Ben Lamm, the co-founder of a company that has used genetic sequencing to give birth to three wolves with genetic relations to an animal that hasn\u2019t been seen for 10,000 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company Colossal Biosciences has wowed the world after using science to recreate the DNA of the dire wolf before bringing the legendary creature back to life in three animals named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article describes the wolves:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have this super thick fur, their tail is a little longer, they are taller. They\u2019re 80 pounds right now, and a typical wolf is somewhere between 75 and 100 pounds, for a male, and that\u2019s kind of on the high side. These will probably be 140 pounds, which is what we think. They are also significantly more muscular,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, they\u2019re Arctic white as well,\u201d Lamm added. \u201cYou\u2019ll see one of the things that we didn\u2019t know is that we found in the genome that they are white. We did a lot of computational analysis and had a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 73,000-year-old skull. So, we had about 50,000 years of genetic divergence, so you could find things like coat colors and differences in their coat, which we engineered in. We didn\u2019t know what those differences were going to look like, but when you see them, they almost have this mane to them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colossal Biosciences insists that they next want to begin work on reviving long-lost species including the woolly mammoth, the dodo, and the Tasmanian tiger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not totally comfortable with this idea. I remember the ‘don’t mess with mother nature’ commercials!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
